Full Throttle

Gordon Kent never asks you to believe ten impossible things before breakfast. He (or rather they - father and son) only ask you to believe that the same set of characters are where the action is in each book. So once again the familiar faces are working together, flyers, intels, navy cops and private security experts who all find themselves entangled in another adventure. After you accept that premise, then the authors don't strain your credibility too much. The plot is feasible; maybe too feasible for comfort. The characters are three-dimensional and their progress logical, relying little on luck to uncover the clues and string them together. But those are things you'll analyze after you finish reading because the real strength of this book is that it drags you along in a flat-out adrenaline burn from start to finish. Put it down if you can!

Another Naval masterpiece

It took me 8 months to get a copy of this book, as it never became available in the U.S. It was worth the wait , another rollercoaster of action,espionage and naval warfare. If you liked any of the previous books from these guys , then you'll love this one. Yes, Allan Craik and the gang were back with a command performance.In the Indian ocean a fleet exercise goes terribly wrong as religious extremists take control of the Indian Navy. India itself, is rocked by explosions, loss of power and communication. All levels of the Indian infrastructure had been infiltrated causing widespread confusion. Literally no one knows who can be trusted and Cmdr.Craik is in the middle of it. Sorry, you'll have to get a copy of the book for the rest.Good Luck
